These Terms of Use govern your use of the RSS service. The use of the RSS service also is subject to the terms and conditions of the Episcopal Digital Network Interactive Service Agreement that governs the use of the Network’s website, information services and content. These Terms of Use and the Episcopal Digital Network Interactive Service Agreement may be changed by the Network at any time without notice.
